For cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs) that use underlay-based spectrum access, the location of the primary user (PU) plays an important role in the power control of the secondary users (SUs), because the SUs must keep the minimum interference level required by the PU. Received signal strength (RSS)-based localization schemes provide low-cost implementation and low complexity, thus it is suitable for the PU localization in CRSNs. However, the RSS-based localization schemes have a high localization error because they use an inexact path loss exponent (PLE). Thus, applying a RSS-based localization scheme into the PU localization would cause a high interference to the PU. In order to reduce the localization error and improve the channel reuse rate, we propose a RSS-based PU localization scheme that uses distance calibration for CRSNs using underlay model-based spectrum access. Through the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed scheme can provide less localization error as well as more spectrum utilization than the RSS-based PU localization using the mean and the maximum likelihood calibration.

In cognitive radio networks, acquiring the position information of the primary user is critical to the communication of the secondary user. Localization of primary users can help improve the efficiency with which the spectrum is reused, because the information can be used to avoid harmful interference to the network while simultaneity is exploited to improve the spectrum utilization. Despite its inherent inaccuracy, received signal strength based on range has been used as the standard tool for distance measurements in the location detection process. Most previous works have employed the path-loss propagation model with a fixed value of the path loss exponent. However, in actual environments, the path loss exponent for each channel is different. Moreover, due to the complexity of the radio channel, when the number of channel increases, a larger number of RSS measurements are needed, and this results in additional energy consumption. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose using the Bayesian compressive sensing method with a calibrated path loss exponent to improve the performance of the PU localization method.

In cognitive radio technology, secondary users can determine the absence of PU by periodic sensing operation and cooperative sensing between SUs yields a significant sensing performance improvement. However, there exists a trade off between the gains in terms of probability of detection of the primary users and the costs of false alarm probability. Therefore, the cooperation group must maintain the suitable size. And secondary users should sense not only the currently using channels and but also other candidates channel to switch in accordance with sudden appearance of the primary user. In this paper, we propose an effective group cooperative sensing algorithm in distributed network situations that is considering both of inband and outband sensing using evolutionary game theory. We derived that the strategy group of secondary users converges to an ESS(Evolutionary sable state). Using a learning algorithm, each secondary user can converge to the ESS without the exchange of information to each other.

In this Paper, we propose a multi-hop transmission in cognitive underlay network. In Secondary network, We assume that a secondary source S attempts to transmit D its signal to a secondary destination via N+1 hops with help of N relays $R_1$, $R_2$, ${\ldots}$, $R_N$. At hop k between relay $R_k$ and relay $R_{k+1}$. we assume that there is a primary user $PU_k$. In this paper, we assume that these channels are Rayleigh fading channels. In underlay network, the secondary transmitter has to adapt its power so that the interference caused at the primary user is less than a maximum interference threshold. considering the hop transmission between the transmitter and the repeater, we find transmit power and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). Between the transmitter from the receiver depending on the number of relay in the underlay network, we compared to find the transmit power and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). Finally we find optimal number of relay and optimal threshold value.

We propose a new frame length control scheme for cognitive radio systems. In the proposed algorithm, the property that the probability of a primary packet arrival continually increases as time elapses during the primary user's idle period is utilized. When reducing the secondary frame length in accordance with the increasing primary packet arrival probability, spectrum sensing is conducted more frequently as time elapses and the primary packet arrival is detected more quickly. We obtain the optimal frame lengths by maximizing the secondary throughput while satisfying the interference constraint. Numerical results show a significant throughput enhancement via the frame length control.

This study was conducted to develop user interface design guidelines for those who design education software products (web sites or CD-ROM titles). To establish this guideline scheme, international standards, commercial design guidelines, and research papers were surveyed. Especially, ISO 9241 was referred as a basic model of a guideline scheme. First, the research group developed draft guidelines. After that, education software developers, designers, and a user group reviewed the draft and the draft was revised with their commentations. Five components were selected as a primary class of guideline scheme: general principle, dialogue design, user guidance, visual interface, and information presentation. Each component was divided several components as a secondary class. Finally, 45 items were selected as user interface design guidelines for the education software design.

The problem of optimal channel sensing in heterogeneous cognitive networks is considered to maximize the system throughput performance. The characteristics of an optimal operating sensing point maximizing the overall system rate are investigated under several rate criteria including the sum rate, the minimum of the primary and secondary rates, and the secondary rate with a guaranteed primary rate. Under the sum rate criterion, it is shown that the loss by imperfect sensing is no greater than half of the sum rate achieved by the perfect time sharing approach in a two user case if the sensing point is optimally designed.

The aim of this research is to understand the perceptions of primary and secondary teachers regarding educational resource sharing systems(ERS) by using a qualitative approach. This study conducted Focus Group Interview(FGI) with 20 primary and secondary school teachers. Interview data were analyzed through inductive content analysis method. The results are as follows. First, teachers placed significant emphasis on high-quality, convenient functions, and reward system for sharing resources. Specifically, teachers identified the necessity for a diverse array of materials, systematic categorization of these resources, and the provision of monetary compensation as essential components. Second, the study participants advocated strategies for revitalizing ERS including enhancing accessibility, constructing user-friendly features, increasing awareness, and establishing a reward system to incentivize the resource sharing. In particular, teachers proposed strategies such as developing mobile-based services and AIdriven data recommendation system. These results provide actionable insights for stakeholders engaged in the design, implementation, and evaluation of resource sharing platforms.

In this paper, we study RF-powered backscatter cognitive radio networks to improve the performance for the secondary user which is backscatter radio based wireless sensors. In our proposed model, we consider an avoiding the doubly round-trip attenuation to add a carrier emitter and utilization of spectrum sensing information. When the primary channel is busy, the secondary user is able to harvest RF energy from the channel through a hybrid-access point (H-AP) and a carrier emitter. When the channel becomes idle, the secondary user will be use the harvested energy to operate wireless sensors, to use the sensing and to backscatter through the carrier emitter. We model mathematically the deterministic and multisource elements of a number of tagged channels. In the proposed communication environment, we show the BER performance of the backscatter communication using WiFi signal.

Cognitive Radioo(CR)기술은 주파수 자원을 효율적으로 이용하기 위해 Joseph Mitora가 개념을 적립한 것으로 유비쿼터스 시대의 부족한 주파수 자원을 극복 할 수 있는 기술로 각광받고 있다. 이와 같은 무선인지 기술(CR)을 도입하기 위한 핵심적인 요소는 부사용자(Secondary User)가 주사용자(Primary User)의 통신을 방해하지 않도록 주파수 점유 여부를 정확하게 판단하는 Spectrum Sensing기술이다. 이 스펙트럼 센싱 기술에 두 가지 종류의 에러가 발생하는데 하나는 미검출 오류(miss error)이고 또 하나는 오경보 오류(false alarm error)이다. 따라서 본 논문은 이 두 가지를 합친 검출 오류(detection error)를 최소화 하기위해 협력 스펙트럼 센싱(Cooperative spectrum sensing)에서 몇 명 이상의 부사용자가 주사용자가 사용중이라 검출하였을 때 최종 결정이 주사용자가 사용한다고 결론 짓는 것이 최적인지를 수학적으로 분석하고 그 최적의 K값을 사용하여 전체 시스템의 성능을 향상 시키는 방법을 제시 한다.
